chipping and putting indoors if I cannot get outside everyday. Inside 100 yards is the key to golfing success!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, it's not at all, @Billsy. Check out the links that @klineka posted up above.

Day 379:

I have to work today, besides winter is rearing it's ugly head again, So I did a few drills for A4 to A5 with my 4-wood (don't carry a 3-wood) indoors. I have a lesson coming up on Wednesday.

The supersoft conditions, wind, and how heavy and damp the air was caused me to lose a good bit of distance. I hit a couple 8-irons from 140 that were coming up short, and this was after I had adjusted for the wind and heaviness of the air. Maybe in a couple weeks, I can get a couple days when it's warmer and the air density is normal.

Day 104.

Just got off the practice green. Shot a +5, 77 for 36 pins. This Heavy Putter and myself are developing a decent relationship.

Greens were rolling fast. I had 7 three putts. Most were misses that continued to roll down hill if the ball went past the hole. This practice green seems to be tougher than most of greens on the course.

Day 105

Chipping, one putt practice this morning. Focus was on green reads, and chipping the ball close enough for 1 putts. Only used one ball.

After that I practiced 4' putts. Made all the straight ones, missed a few breakers. 

Still nursing the reminants of a pinched nerve I suffered a few weeks ago.  No full swing allowed yet.

Day 10 of 12:

20-30 mins of mirror work and making slow specific swings with a 6 iron working on priority piece. Then filmed a full swing 6I from FO view. First full swing in over a week with anything more than a lob wedge. Everything else has been very slow. One thing I liked was I noticed in the mirror in my DTL view that the club was working away from me to start the downswing....I have never been able to do that before without hitting some wonky shots. Today things felt good even if mostly slow.

    • Wordle 1,652 X/6* 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 Yup - one of those Wordle moments….
    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
    • Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues. 
    • Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management. 
    • Day 2: 2025.12.27 Eighteen holes at Kauri Cliffs. Focusing on trying to keep flex in right leg during backswing.
